Bar/Bat mitzvah project

Link your bar/bat mitzvah to the Galilee Circus, and help us defy fear, pessimism – and gravity!

Making the Galilee Circus your bar/bat mitzvah project is a way for you to…

  • connect with Israel
  • connect with kids in Israel
  • help make Israel a better place, by breaking down barriers and building shared culture and citizenship.

Support for the circus It is not political, it is optimistic, it not only benefits the participants but conveys an important ''yes we can'' message to audiences of all ages who come to see the show.

There are a number of ways to make the Galilee Circus part of your bar/bat mitzvah celebration:

  • If you want to invite your guests to contribute to the circus in your honor, we can send you cards to include in your invitation (or to use as thank you notes).

  • If you are planning a bar/bat mitzvah trip to Israel, contact us about including a circus performance or workshop.

  • If you are a circus person yourself, come teach us, practice with us, or perform with us!

    • We'd be happy to help you and your family plan your own unique partnership with the circus. Let us know how we can help: contact Rabbi Marc Rosenstein, hmakom@netvision.net.il
